[Purdue Grad in Texas]

We have punched our ticket to the Final 8!!!

The remaining myocardial tissue/cells may go Sunday......but what a way to go!

Heck yeah, Boilers!

 

[Abugabby]

Watch the Zag's bench players in the handshake like...the look at Edey like he's Elvis or something.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

[Boilermaker427]

Who do we want to play next game?

I always pick someone who beats it, so I hope whoever brings their D game Sunday lol

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

A little surreal to hear Matt Painter say next game "Hopefully go to the Final Four....."

Woah Nellie......

 

[krazychicagod]

You don't think the B1G coaches had anything in their game plan to slow Purdue down?

? Im sure they did. But we were playing extremely slow, walking it up, playing safe and cautious and everyone looking for edey and passing up shots.

Are you SERIOUSLY going to deny that? Some lf you are just insane

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

I'm going to Disney World!

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

Definitely Creighton. No disrespect but UT is a nightmare.

 

[Erock_94]

Next game won't be easy

 

[BoilerDaddy]

These team seems so much stronger mentally than last year!

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

We know if TN wins that there will be an avalanche of TN posters on our board tonight and tomorrow

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Next game won't be easy

Definitely.....regardless if it's Creighton or Tennessee.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Next game won't be easy

And our game after that won’t be either (tic)

 

[BoilerDeac]

Let’s goooooooooooooo

 

[Do Dah Day]

Nemhard is like a 32% 3 pt shooter snd we r going over EVERY screen even 30 feet from the basket letting one the best assist guys in the country have a free lane with defender on his back

How can anyone defend this defensive philosophy?

You need a cognitive test!

 

[Do Dah Day]

Why is Edey guarding neb? What are we doing on defense?

beating them

 

[Do Dah Day]

WE JUST WENT OVER 30 FT FROM BASKET ON A 32 PERCENT 3 PT SHOOTER WHICH AGAIN RESUKTED IN A FORCED SWITCH OF BRADEN ONTO IKE AND A FREE 2 PTS

MATT PAINTER IS SELF SABOTAGING THIS TEAM MY GODDDDDDDDD

hmmmm

 

[BoilerAndy]

? Im sure they did. But we were playing extremely slow, walking it up, playing safe and cautious and everyone looking for edey and passing up shots.

Are you SERIOUSLY going to deny that? Some lf you are just insane

Insane, as in krazy? lol

 

[Do Dah Day]

Ah we want to ignore the elephent in the room. Typical of this board

You seem to have a warped personality analysis trait

 

[Boilermaker427]

I wanna make believe a world where we win Sunday and our path becomes NC State and Clemson lol

 

[spoilerdave]

Who is everyone rooting for in the next one?

I really don't know, both teams are tough. In some ways I want Creighton and in others Tennessee. I don't have any loyalty to either. It's a coin flip tbh. I just want to win. I am old enough to see our last final four appearance but that was over 35 years ago. I had season tickets but I was only a teenager. Too many heartbreaks, time for a Natty. Our fan base has waited too long. Our team is balanced and Zach is a monster. They have earned it I think.

Besides it would be nice to follow the Virginia path where the only #1 teams to lose to a #16 team in NCAA history cam3 back and won a National Championship. UCONN is tough though. I'm going to stop thinking about that though an ld enjoy the Vols vs Creighton to see what awaits us on Sunday. One game at a time.

PS: This is the first time in my lifetime I picked Purdue in my bracket to win it all

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

9/20 from deep

9 turnovers

32-25 edge on glass (11-9 offensive)

7/10 FT's - all from Zach Edey

That will do it.

 

[The Boiler Special]

? Im sure they did. But we were playing extremely slow, walking it up, playing safe and cautious and everyone looking for edey and passing up shots.

Are you SERIOUSLY going to deny that? Some lf you are just insane

Brother... We have dominated everyone in the tourney so far... What are you crying about?

 

[RDUBoiler]

We know if TN wins that there will be an avalanche of TN posters on our board tonight and tomorrow

For that reason alone, Creighton. Although it would be fun to rub it in when we win.
